Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - J.P. Arencibia's pinch-hit RBI single with the
bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth capped a rally and lifted Toronto over
Baltimore, 5-4, in the middle test of a three-game series.

Kevin Gregg (0-3) came in with one out in the frame, but after fanning Brett
Lawrie, he walked Kelly Johnson, served up a single to Jose Molina and plunked
pinch-hitter Adam Loewen to load the bases.

Gregg then uncorked a wild pitch to plate Johnson, and later in the at-bat
Arencibia laced a single to score pinch-runner Chris Woodward and end the
game.

The hit made a winner of Jesse Litsch (6-3), who allowed one run on three hits
in two relief innings.

Jose Bautista launched a two-run homer and Lawrie added a solo shot for the
Jays, who have won four of six and shook off a 2-0 loss in Friday's series
opener.

Henderson Alvarez got the start for Toronto, allowing nine hits and three runs
over seven innings.

Chris Davis collected two hits and drove in a pair of runs for the Orioles,
whose three-game win streak was halted.

Vladimir Guerrero and Matt Angle knocked in a run each, while Baltimore
starter Rick VandenHurk gave up three hits and as many runs in just 2 1/3
innings.

Davis' RBI single in the first put the O's on the board, but Toronto moved
ahead in the home half when Yunel Escobar worked a leadoff walk and Bautista
reached the third deck just to the left of center for his 41st homer of the
season.

Kyle Hudson reached second on an Alvarez error to start the second and scored
on Angle's two-out base hit, but the Jays moved ahead by a 3-2 count on
Lawrie's leadoff homer in the bottom of the frame.

Davis doubled in Guerrero for a 3-3 deadlock in the third, and Baltimore went
ahead in the eighth. Robert Andino hit a leadoff double, moved to third
on a groundout and scored on a double from Guerrero.
